NitroSpazzz posted:I'd love to find a chunk of land like that to build on. I have the lot next to my house but it would have to be one steep as hell driveway to access it from the road and even worse coming from my main driveway. Concrete is expensive as hell. Doing all the prep work yourself helps a little bit but it's still going to be a huge chunk of the budget. Then add in parking aprons and watch the budget skyrocket. Yeah, it looks like around a hundred bucks a yard in this area. That's just crete and delivery, not site work and unsure if it includes placement and finishing, it probably doesn't. As for parking aprons, LOL nope! Everything I own is either 4x4 or about to be, except for the Forester which is AWD and getting sold sometime this fall/winter, well before I will ever have money for a shop. It will be on a non paved road, and in the woods, the most it will get is a crushed stone layer over the dirt. I even have a sweet rock crawling test course next to it that also leads to where I want to put the shop, I've rolled my lawn tractor wheeling it back there due to no brakes and a sketchy clutch but haven't taken any jeeps out back. The failed railroad they built in my town a hundred years ago went within 200ft of my property and they dumped all the blasted rock and spoil from a hill cut right there, and it's been there ever since. (Yet another reason I want to buy that land)

gently caress me I caved in and bought a pack. I've got to get some sort of coping strategy so I can handle this job. This has to be my last pack.

Fart Pipe posted:The wierdest draw Ive ever seen was on my 87 Ram. It would kill the battery overnight it was so strong and it ended up being the horn circuit but the horn worked and wasnt beeping all night so I dont know what the gently caress. One of the young bucks here installed a set of Hella Supertones with the non-waterproof relay pointing contacts upwards. It got flooded with water from driving and then would short out internally when the car was off, burning out batteries and pissing off the ECU. It was something ridiculous like a full 2A draw.

NitroSpazzz posted:I haven't found many things the chest mount is that great for other than maybe something like skiing. I've used it on the trials bike with some success since I'm standing the entire time. Most things I use a adhesive mount or attach it directly to the rollcage/handlebars. Nice work on the not drunk all the time, all that activity should help with the Thanks Man. I'm not gonna lie, going from about a bottle of wine a night minimum, with magnum bottles sometimes getting polished off, is not easy. All of a sudden, the evening seems so long and I can remember it. At any rate, at least I can put down *some* good numbers...   I'd have ridden further, but the park doubles as a reservoir and when it rains the way it has been in Houston, it floods. I should look up the nutrition facts on wine to see how hosed my 'diet' is...  Per bottle(750mL): sutter home moscato  calories: 635 Carbs: 57g alcohol: 56.5g  No wonder I couldn't break 188 on the scale. That would be my nightly take, minimum. gently caress, so I was breaking the budget and breaking the diet. Good job, idiot.

I still grab a pack from time to time when I'm planning on getting loving wasted with friends, but that's only a few times a year. I also find that smoking makes me feel sort of sick these days, unless I'm really drunk.

One of the biggest things I'll miss about Phoenix is the Ren fair. It's an amazing way to spend a day. Just hammer $4 beers all day and eat awesome food and watch blacksmiths and jousting and try not to get smacked by the wife too often.

Terrible Robot posted:Sweet tap-dancing christ, are packs really that expensive where you live? I quit because it was stupid and a waste of money and our packs only cost like $4-5 average. Let me put it this way. When we were flying back from Italy we ended up on a German budget airline. As the plane was flying over the Rocky Mountains to prepare to enter Canada, the pilot came onto the horn and went (in the Colonel Klink-est accent you can imagine) "REMEMBER TO BUY ZIGARETTES, IN CANADA THEY ARE VERRRRRRRY EXPENSIVE!!!!" Then the stewardesses came out with drink carts full of cartons of cigarettes, which happy Germans quickly purchased. One guy in Patagonia hiking gear filled his carryon to the brim with cigs.

Super Aggro Crag posted:Why's that? Those and the Trailblazer SS are almost like modern day Cyclones/Typhoons. I've wanted a pickup truck for work for a few years now anyways and it seems like everything on my car is falling apart at ~130,000 miles. It's AWD and low to the ground which I think is cool. Ideally I'd like something AWD/4x4 with a stick but I think the newer Subarus are hideous. There piles of poo poo with a hosed abs system and power steering lines that are prone to CATCHING SALT and exploding. Also the dash randomly does what the gently caress it wants. Then since your in a rust area the exhaust is gonna start to leak and just gently caress everything. Then the whole gm gives no fucks about a leaky transfer case. Finally when the fuel pump shits the bed it will be to swollen to remove from the tank....

Also - $15 bucks a pack for cigarettes? That's expensive? Here they worked out that to cut the rates of smoking, taxing the poo poo out of them works incredibly well. 30 bucks. As a result, I believe Australia has one of the lowest rates of smoking in the world. Tax em more is all I can say, gently caress smoking forever and gently caress those evil companies that make cigarettes. CAT INTERCEPTOR fucked around with this message at 22:05 on May 25, 2015 |

Mooseykins posted:Jesus holy gently caress.. Insurance will change that to somewhere around 10-20% at most of that bill. The billing system here is just stupid, they bill 10x the allowable rate which the insurance reduces to an 'allowed' rate, but if you don't have insurance you have to fight them to reduce it to a reasonable charge. It's loving stupid because a fair number of people would probably take a lot better care of themselves if they could just walk into a medical facility and pay cash, at the same rate that insurance companies allow, but instead they charge 10x that and make you fight for it.

The interiors fall apart, the transmissions while stout, are horrifically dated compared to every thing else. The Silverado SS is not a true awd transfer cAse, just a center diff that uses the traction control to send the torque around. It's not a recommended vehicle.
